Explanation:
What sentence are you talking about? We can't see.
Answer:
to convince the public to support an idea to entertain the audience by describing a recent event to explain a complicated political process to showcase the speaker's public speaking skills.
Explanation:
The primary purpose of these stage directions (with the gallantry of a young politician) is to indicate a character's tone of voice.
Given that he is referring to the ladies, he has to change the tone of his voice a bit to appeal to them more. He cannot speak in a manly voice which he would normally use while speaking to other men, but rather appear more suave and gentleman-like.
Hi. Unfortunately I was unable to access the article this question refers to. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
We can see that the view that Chicago is “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” is refuted, with the phrase showing that Germany has a much larger amount of green roofs than Chicago. This shows that Chicago does not deserve the title of "forefront" in the use of these roofs, as there are places, such as Germany, that have taken the lead in this attitude.
Unfortunately, without reading the article it is not possible to know how it affects the general tone and mood of the article. However, considering that this is an informative article, we can consider that this rebuttal, presents the feeling that green roofs are something that is being established very slowly in America, even though this is a very beneficial attitude for society. Furthermore, this rebuttal may present a delayed mood, as it shows that America is late in implementing this technology. This can be seen because the tone and mood of a text establish the sensation and feeling that the author of the article wants to promote through reading.
